Our Home ~ October

It's October in every room of our home. A lot of this stays up (minus the 'back to school' and the apples) and I add in Halloween and more orange!

You can come in in back door through the mudroom



And head straight on into the kitchen for a cup of hot cider



Or cup of tea



Crayons are always at the table for little hands (and some bigger eleven year old ones too)



I love to cook out of my Autumn Cookbooks like this one



But this is my favorite



















Or you can come in the front door







Which leads straight to our family room (with books on tape all ready to go)



We often have a fire going in the evenings now





Our more cozy room with lots of seasonal books to read







And movies to watch





Or head through that same front door to the left where we call our living room our 'viola room' ever since Abigail couldn't for the life of her remember what it was called until we renamed it.







Or head to the right to our dining room







Abigail is in her room busy getting her babies ready for Halloween



And I hang the seasonal jumpers so that I won't forget to have her wear them throughout the month



A small collection of pins that Anna likes to wear



And a curtain I change for the month that used to hang in my classroom years and years ago



We have a teeny tiny bathroom downstairs







Any way you slice it we are ready for this most glorious month!

Fill my heart
Fill this house
Fill this day, O Lord
I am weak
And I need your grace
You are the only light
You are the ray of light
Fill my heart
Fill this house
Fill this day, O Lord
